Nick Moon continues to amaze me as a true Renaissance Man: antique Organ restorer, demolition man and floor joist installer, loving father, respectful husband, accomplished horseman and now showing his amazing deftness in horse inoculation. Truely a man of so many talents...helping make the Moon homestead magical in France.
And having just watched Ryan’s latest renovation video, a lot of attention had gone into cleaning Nic’s workman’s hands seen whilst helping Ryan put in the first joist on his renovation project. 🖐🖐
Nick it's wonderful how you and Jenny take care of the Legends. The horses are beautiful, you can really tell how well you both take care of them. Kathy USA 🇺🇸
Much love from Southern California, USA. I now get tearful at each video. SO LOVELY to see the warmth, caring & skill in your family. I picture myself helping. I am old & disabled, but still dream of my brief time around horses, learned to do all catching horse, loving it up, halter on, walk up to the area for grooming & tacking up. Up on the specially made bareback pad -- thick & right firmness for horse's health & comfort. & special padding to remind legs about the correct position. Learned a little very basic dressage, beginning jumping. Untacked, groomed, walked back to paddock or occasionally stall. Honestly, I enjoyed the interaction with the horse almost more than actually riding. Ironically, I had to stop my lessons when I started full time nursing school, changed from full time to part time employee at the excellent hospital where I worked. Watching the skill that Nick & Jenny have was wonderful. THAT is what I dream of doing. I am now retired (medically, back in 2017). I was a mental health RN for 40 years. I must have given 1000 injections -- all intramuscular. To folks experiencing serious & persistent mental illness. Some incredibly brave people, courage & perseverance to get through each day. Anyway, I often had my patients, who received an injection either every 2 or 4 weeks, express surprise when I put a bandaid on the injection site. "You already gave me my shot? Are you sure?" For horses, it is the TLC, & doing exactly what Nick did. For people, I would introduce a topic of conversation about anything I knew that person liked to talk about. NEVER said, "You're going to feel a sharp scratch." They were all adults, who came in knowingly & willingly for their scheduled injection. No reason to announce anything. Having them roll up a sleeve, or sometimes gently just doing it for them. Cleaning the site with an alcohol swab. They all knew the shot (jab in Britain?) was next. Some meds DO cause discomfort when injected, like flu shots, etc. The meds we have weren't irritating, luckily. Anyway, I am old & the Magic of all the Moons, human & all others, brings me such joy. & Jenny, you are looking quite lean! ❤️ to all.
Love the care and attention and the kisses 😁 also great to see Charlie back from a hack with the magical Madjik what an honour to ride such a beautiful horse
It is so rare to see someone who is so well rounded in his experiences as Nick! Is there anything that he can’t do. I think not! Nick, you are amazing and gifted in nearly every aspect of life and very skilled to boot. Sorry that I didn’t see you riding as well. I expect you were very good at that too. Jennie, you too are amazing and seem to love everything you do. The toy repairer extraordinaire, super Mum, horse whisperer, coach, teacher and gifted teacher and basic kind human. It is wonderful to be a part of your world!
The moon family are all magical in their own way. Mommy and Daddy Moon have answered the call from a higher being to show us what love of animals is all about. Their sharing of that love with all of us is a gift that can inspire us to find our way to our own calling, What ever that may be. I love watching the videos. Thank you for sharing, I know that some day your plan for these beautiful horses around the world will succeed.
So happy and proud of the Moons to be able to fulfill their dream of taking care of these beautiful legends. I can only imagine how short and devastating their lives would have been without you.
That is the most efficient application of Vet wrap, I think I've ever seen. Usually I only get to see it being used to splint gimpy little lambs during lambing season. Well done👍
Fantastic, the care you give your animal friends is wonderful! All treatment given so professionally. You can see how the horses have total trust in you and that you’re there to help them. Love the pink girly patch Jenny! Hope they all recover fully very soon. Xxxx ❤
I’m so glad you made this video about taking care of the medical needs of the Legends and explaining a bit about the problems older horses can have. It was very interesting. Grace is looking so much better. Sending special hugs to Eperlan and to all the Moons 🤗
How they all are, now everyone has an illness and needs "special" treatment. lol I thing they like the sugar cubes lol. They are funny. Great job Nick and Jennie keep up the great work with the Legends. I finally seen a horse boot how interesting they actually look like leggings that we used to wear back in the 70-80's. Have a wonderful day
Well now that's something I've never seen before. The horses obviously trust Dr. Moon. Thanks for sharing some of what you have to do to take good care of the senior horses.
Bonjour to you all Moon's family, Well, this was quite a day with the horses. Good thing they have the best and loving "doctors" in the house ! Really, you two are just amazing with those legends. Loving humans being inside and out for sure, both so talented when it comes to provide great care for your legends ; they are so lucky to be under your care. Much love your way and quick recovery to all the "patients" ( I bet they cannot wait to go and play outside, this is why they behave so nicely when receiving their treatments ) LOL.
Poor spoiled horses (teasing). You both take such great care of all your animals. They all get bumps and bruises from time to time and old injuries can be a challenge. My body is reminding me of how much fun I used to have too lol. My right knee has been a proper bother the past week first thing in the morning and I have to tell myself to get up and move it, move around, walk it off. I can just imagine some of the looks you get some days from your Elite Horses lol. They are obviously very grateful afterwards Eperlan looks rather fashionable with his socks on Magical Moons providing sanctuary for Retired Elite Horses. Legacy of Legends is so much more than a memory or a tribute, so very much more!
I love how your dogs are of all shapes and sizes & fall in love with any animal no matter what. It’s so moving hearing about Epperlan being sad. You’re all such a wonderful team looking after the horses. It would have to be the most luxurious nursing home!
The love between you and all of the horses amazes me. They let you do what is necessary with no or very little fuss. Thank you for sharing your family and animals. Oscar is adorable in his bright green suit with the little wellies. Lots of love to you all. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉😊
Charlie's new haircut looks very handsome. Maybe you need to give the vet a room for the next week! Ginger says she'd like something more fashionable please. Maybe some Foster Grants with some bling on the frames, just in case the photographer comes back you know!😂😂😂😂 Have a good week! Blessed Be!
The legends love and trust you so much. Makes doctor time so much easier because of the build of trust and love between you and them. You guys are amazing!❤❤
As usual I will watch the magical Moons more than once. Their calm, loving efficiency comes across so well. The trust the horses have in Jenny and Nick is so heartwarming. They are truly special.
Thanking God in my prayers for your lovely family. 🙏❤Glad the horses have you and you are so compassionate and capable of everything. Nick, you are a pro because the horses trust you completely, they know you just want to help them. And Jenny too is incredible at everything she does. Thinking of you so much as you have been through a lot. Hope you get some rest and take care of yourselves with a little fun in between. Hope all the loved ones are well again soon. Big healing hug Maria Denmark🥰
That was some IM injection. Great vlog , Jenny and Nick. I just look forward to the videos you guys are doing the best work. And the kids are pretty awesome
Hi Moons. We love your videos and are amazing. Nick you are a wonderful friend and great family man. You are all amazing. All your Legends are in great hands. We send are love from California.
All of you take such good care of all of the animals. It takes a lot of time, effort, and dedication to keep up with it all. Your love and concern is magical.
Sometimes u get 1 thing go wrong then another and another they all well behaved . Well last week my young 5 year old had a sore eye too it was very swollen in the morning so I cleaned it and put a musk on and rang the vet , I also gave him some bute too and yes he had a very small ulcer in his eye it came right very quickly I used the same eye drops as u had . But 2 days of a small amount of bute does help take the swelling down and stops the itching. Wasn't Grace a champion with that injection. ❤❤ If it is very wet under foot some stock on Tar is great to stop any bugs and help keep the wet out . I hope the weather comes right.
Thanks for sharing the details of some of the many tasks required to provide the excellent care you do for the Legends! I now have a new found appreciation for all you do for these majestic animals. The Moon Family is simply the BEST!
The stables are looking so clean and organised, you have done an amazing job. You two are true angels, to the horses and to your beautiful family. Lots of love 🤗
Lovely watching the horses trust in you both. Nick was great with Grace and her injection very professionally done. Jenny wrapping the horses legs the horses take it all in their stride. ❤❤❤❤

I love your channel. I am always impressed with what you do when you help Ryan, Michael, and Billy. But what I love the most is seeing you love and care abt your animals. Especially your horses. You and your wife are so perfect together. You're all so blessed. As are we for getting to watch you every week. 🤗
Such a lovely loving way you all have either the horses.They are so lucky to have you.I love their fly hats!So adorable ❤️ Flys can be so annoying. All your lovely children, so lovely.
Such wonderful and professional caregivers! The horses certainly know good people and they show it in their behaviour. Well behaved and trusting, I don't sense any anxiety from them at all. Best time of their life really. It is such a joy to see the love and kindness from Jenny and Nick and from the horses.
Get well soon everyone there at the clinic . That was a good idea to move neighbours around .. gives a little distraction , the stable# are looking bright & airy with the renos Nick ,keep going !
GREAT JOB Doc. Moon...I do know what your talking about...When it rains it pours...We had 6 colics n' 1 died... Happy EVERYONE is okay today...LOVE from Chicago
you are some of the loveliest people I have encountered, thank you for all you do, such a loving presence, such a wonderful environment for your children to grow up in....
I think I was as surprised about the needle in Grace's neck as she was. 😲 He's got some tricks up his sleeve, that Nick. 😂 It must be so amazing for you guys that you don't have to stress about being able to help them as you have been previously. ❤
You all are the absolute best people for those lovely Legends! Please give the dear Grieving widow hugs from me in New York City. You Moons do it all. Charlie had a growth spurt!
Great to see the horses having there medicine. GRACE is looking so much better since coming to live with you. Your TLC and plenty of meals is so good for her compared to what she looked like when you collected her. Do hope her leg is better soon.
I worked with elderly horses that had been schooling horses. Some were off the track. Oh the foot problems! From lower ringbone to just thrush, it was always something. My own adopted boy had been an eventer who went down over a fence and split his hoof into the Corona. His owner didn’t want to be bothered so he came to me. I worked years to get that foot split to heal but we finally got it with our wonderful farrier helping me along the way. He was the most amazing gentleman. I used him to teach grooming and safety to my students. Eventually I had to give him up and he went to be a companion horse to some friends who lost one of their devoted retired boys. I’ve never gotten over having to give him up.
